Ebix Smartclass Unveils AI School to Empower 1 Crore Students with Coding & Future Tech Skills

    • Ebix AI School aims to empower 1 crore students across Grades 1–12 with hands-on skills in AI, coding, robotics, and IoT.
    • The program supports NEP 2020 goals and requires no additional hardware, making it easy to implement in 10,000+ schools.
    • With support from Union Budget 2025 and a projected 40% market growth, Ebix is positioned to lead India's AI-driven EdTech transformation.

    Ebix Smartclass, India’s leading e-learning solution provider, has announced the launch of its pioneering new programme Ebix AI School, a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence and Coding initiative crafted for school students across Grades 1 to 12. The programme is a major leap towards integrating next-gen digital skills into the core of school education and aims to prepare students for the rapidly evolving technology-driven world.

    Building on Ebix Smartclass’s existing reach across 65,000 classrooms in over 10,000 schools, the new programme aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), which emphasizes the importance of coding, computational thinking, and digital literacy from early schooling years. Through Ebix AI School, students can now access a single, integrated platform that covers pre-coding, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), empowering them with essential 21st-century skills.

    Mr. Arun Batra, Managing Director, Ebix Technologies Ltd., said, “With Ebix Smartclass AI, we’re not just teaching students to code we’re equipping them to thrive in an AI-driven world. Coding and computational thinking are no longer optional; they are foundational skills. Our plug-and-play model ensures seamless integration without any additional hardware investment. Over the next 2–3 years, our goal is to empower over 10 million students by equipping them with essential coding skills turning every classroom into a launchpad for future innovators”.

    The launch comes at a time when India is emerging as the fastest-growing AI in Education market in the Asia-Pacific region. India accounted for nearly 5% of the global AI in Education market in 2022, generating revenues of INR 1,200 crore (USD 140.7 million). With an estimated CAGR of 40%, the market is expected to reach INR 17,500 crore (USD 2.06 billion) by 2030. In parallel, India’s K–12 EdTech market driven by more than 25 crore enrolled school students is valued at INR 25,000 crore (USD 2.9 billion).

    With its scalable model, strong school network, and minimal infrastructure requirements, Ebix Smartclass is poised to capture a significant share of this market. The Union Budget 2025 has also boosted the momentum by allocating INR 500 crore (USD 60 million) for establishing Centres of Excellence for AI in Education, further validating the programme’s relevance and timing.

    The Ebix AI School curriculum has been developed by a team of experienced educators and technologists, using an engaging mix of interactive digital content, project-based learning, and well-explained sessions. The goal is to make even the most complex AI and coding concepts simple, intuitive, and fun for young learners.

    Key highlights of the program include:

    • Grade-wise progressive curriculum – From basic to advanced AI and Machine Learning concepts.
    • Real-world projects & challenges – Encourages critical thinking, logic, and creativity.
    • AI-powered simulations & gamified learning – Personalized learning paths for every student.
    • Fully integrated with Ebix Smartclass CTS platform and 4K UHD Interactive Flat Panels.
    • 24×7 AI Teacher – An AI-powered assistant to answer student queries related to subjects and programs.
    • No additional hardware required – Compatible with existing school infrastructure; available in both online and offline modes.
    • Mobile learning via app – Students can access content on Android and iOS platforms.
    • Teacher training & certification workshops – To ensure seamless integration and delivery.

    The programme will be rolled out in phases, starting with schools already using Ebix Smartclass solutions, and is expected to reach nationwide scale by 2025.

    Mr. Sumit Bhatt, Founder of Coding Jr., highlighted the broader impact of the initiative, stating, “For India to truly become a global tech leader, the shift must begin in our classrooms where technology has often remained a secondary focus. With Ebix Smartclass AI, we’ve worked to change that mindset by creating a pre-coding platform that’s flexible, intuitive, and deeply rooted in India’s educational needs. This isn’t just a new product it’s a leap forward in how we think about preparing the next generation to not just use technology, but to build it with confidence and creativity”.

    This launch marks a key milestone in Ebix Smartclass’s mission to transform Indian classrooms into incubators of innovation, ensuring that students are not only digitally literate but also future-ready. By focusing on early-age AI exposure, real-world learning, and teacher empowerment, the programme is set to redefine how India nurtures the tech leaders of tomorrow.
